It is evident that many farmers in
this section are, to put it mildly, very
inconsiderate of their stock in the
winter time.
I his you will likely find to be true—

very apt to find one here and there,
and sometimes everywhere.
in this staid village it is no easy
matter to compound u weekly Salma

AA’o are glad to liave questions pro
pounded to us sometimes, hut the fol
lowing is too hard for us. A friend
asks ‘mow much longer hogs will he
allowed to run “all over creation” in
Baldwin county?” AVe venture the
reply, however, that it will continue
so long as a majority of the farmers
esteem it a just and rational system
to keep hogs with cast iron noses that
can climb a fence and run like a deer
and then expect them to get their liv
ing off of their own premises.
The following note we take the lib
erty of including here :
_ At Home, Jan. 13th.
Dear Sin : I see in the last UNION-
Recorder that you refer to a speech
of mine made in a conversation with
you some weeks ago as a ‘prediction’.
Now I am no prophet nor the son of
one, and any prediction so called that
I may make is simply on the princi
ple of putting two and two together
and calling the product four. I did
say, and I expect to keep on saying it,
that Baldwin county occupies a posi
tion now that justiueu the strongest
belief that she will take a long stride
in moral and material improvement.
It is necessary though that all upright
and intelligent citizens should lend
their influence to aid and" cause to
produce its legitimate effect. Ten
years of prohibition in Baldwin coun
ty will certainly give every industri- '
ous man in the county a home and a I
competence if he wants them, and the j
worst element that do not desire hon
est work will soon or late emigrate
out of the county which will he a very
good blessing to the county. The
good citizens should see to it that the
law is faithfully observed, and in the
meantime by moral suasion and judi
cious advocacy assure the confirma
tion of the law in any attempt to
have it abrogated. Yours truly,
J. T. Mullarky.
The spirit of progress is disposed to
locate in Baldwin. Let us extend her
a cordial welcome and all necessary
sympathy. She lias been a long time
coming, hut, she came as soon as she
had a hearty invitation.
AVe note that the Methodist church
has gone hack to the voluntary as
sessment plan this year. It is proba
bly the very best plan that could be
adopted and doubtless will secure all
necessary funds. The fact of it is, ev
ery person, whether church member
or not, should contribute freely for
the maintenance and multiplying of
churches and church sevices, for after
all, they are the groundwork of our
civilization and improved social con
dition and stand as hostages for fu
ture peace and good order.
Miss Mary Thomas left Wednesday
morning for Athens to visit her niece,
Mrs. Lumpkin.
Some people complain of not hav
ing friends, seeming to forget that to
secure friends one must show one’s self
friendly. As “love and love only is
the loan of love”, so friendship can
only he bought with friendship. It
cannot be purchased with many com
pliments. The selfish are not dispos
ed usually to pay the price, and con
sequently (lo not possess themselves
of enduring friendships.
The scientific world doubtless is
awaiting with considerable impatience
the completion of the Lick Observa
tory near San Francisco. The lenses
fer the telescope are finished and
they are said to he the finest lenses
in the world. They I are three feet
in diameter, weigh 700 pounds, and
will cost fifty thousand dollars. This
telescope is expected to bring the
moon within 100 miles of us, so to
speak, and may probably determine
conclusively whether it is inhabited
° r not. , , , , ,,
Snagley says he wished he could
have been present at the last quarter

Gentlemen “let brotherly love con

The fast train between Albany and
Atlanta is styled the Cannon-Ball.
The train that passes through this vil
lage might appropriately be styled the
Frog. Between jumps it takes quite
a breathing spell; the length of which
cannot be calculated to a certainty.
Why is the average mortal ten-times
more prompt to repeat defamatory ut
terances of their fellow man than
those of commendation?
they have found it necessary to do
vise some plan of iiqudating that debt.
With that end in view they determin
ed to inaugurate a seiies of pleasura
ble entertainments and suppers with
an unusually small admittance fee so
that those who delight iu r>ueh things
can help them to pay their debt and
get hack more really than the worth
of the small trifle they pay out. Dr.
Hall too, with his well known and
commendable liberality lias wisely
turned to their profit—what he had
undertaken for the amusement and
pleasure of the unfortunate inmates.
For the sole purpose of affording en
joyment to the patients he liadautage
erected in the large amusement hall
of the male convalescent building and
with some of the convalescent pa
tients and attendants lie prepared
and presented last week that very
amusing farce, Barney the Baron.
To this play the attendants and pa
tients of the asylum were admitted
free, hut all outsiders paid a small
admittance fee, and what was realiz
ed in that way Dr. Hall generous
ly donated to the hand which, by
the by, very well performed the part
of orchestra at the play. And right
here I must say that considering the
fact that none of them had even at
tempted to play their instruments be
fore, and took their first lesson on
them hardly more than two months
ago, they arejplaying remarkably well,
and give such fine promise of making
a really first class band, that it will
pay all lovers of music, who desire a
permanent hand in our midst to pa
tronize their entertainments liberally.
As a body they are acting with com
mendable independence in that
though not able to purchase their in
struments out of their small wages
they do not beg subscriptions but pre
pare to give you a full “quid pro quo”
for all you pay toward helping them
out. On the night of the play, week
before last, they had an oyster supper,
and intended to have another play
OBITUARY.
A fit, BAY Died of mensles? at lmr
home near Carr’s Station On., Deo.
17th, 188(1, Mrs. Louisa J. Allen, in the
fifty-fourth year of her ago. Sister
Allen was twice married; first to
Newton Rogers, of Baldwin county,
Ga., in 1841), and subsequently to J.
'J’. Allen of Hancock county, Ga., in
1877. The writer can truly say that
to know sister Allen was to love her.
In early life, about 1885, she gave
her heart to God, and united with the
Methodist church at Deep Step,
Washington county, Ga. She was
among those faithful ones who carry
along with them their religion at
all times, and on all occasions. Her
Christian light grew stronger and
bolder even to the close of life, and
as the end drew near, she fancied
that she could see the “Pearly Gates’’
swinging ajar, for her entrance into
the “New Jerusalem”. As a Christian
she adorned her .profession with an
upright walk, and chaste conversa
tion; as a neighbor, kind and oblig
ing; as a wife devoted and affection
ate; and as a mother, faithful and in
dulgent. Divine grace prepared her
for every duty.
Iler dying admonitions, we trust,
will Jong bo remembered by those to
whom they wore addressed. Her re
mains were followed to their last rest
ing place by a large concourse of
friends and relatives, and after a
short Service conducted by Mr. T. J.
West, the remains were lowered into
the tomb, there to rest until the arch
angel’*,trump shall break the long and
dreary sleep.
Bleep on, dear sister, until the morn
of the resurrection, when we unty he
permitted to join thee in asoribing
praises to the Lamb of God—our
blessed Redeemer.
PeareBt sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But ’tis God, who hath bereft us,
Ho can all our sorrows heal.

Superior Court Adjourned.
Baldwin Superior CovitT, ^
January Term, 1887. j
It appearing that a large portion of
the business of the court cannot he
disposed of at tills !time, from provi
dential cause, and the public interest
requiring it, it is ordered fin open
court; that said court stand adjourned
until Monday, the 7th day of Februa
ry, 1887, at ten o’clock.
It is ordered further that the officers
of court and the grand and petit ju
rors einpannelled and sworn for the
present term, give their attendance at
said adjourned term, to begin on said
7tli day of February, 1887, and that
tin’s.order be entered on the minutes
of this court and advertised from and

proved quite remunerative. The
stage however, which had been built ]
only temporarily out of lumber that
was for other purposes, having been
removed they could not have their
play. Instead however a waxed and !
highly polished floor in the same hall
afforded u most enjoyable dance and I
being so sleek quite a number lost
their footing which wnen it became
such a common accident to slip up
that all embarrassment was lost sight |
and made it one of tho merriest and I
really most enjoyable dances tiiat
bus taken plaee at the asylum in a
long time. Altogether it was a com
plete success both as to enjoyment I
and in pecuniary results.
AVe are glad to hear that as soon as
the stage can he rebuilt they iutend
having another entertainment of
which we presume due notice will he
given and from the amount of pleas
ure and enjoyment, got out of them
at so small a cost we can safely say
that those who fail to attend will in
deed miss a rare treat.
Dr. Powell too whose prudent and
watchful eye is ever open to the gen
eral good lends not only h’s wise sanc
tion to those entertainments but gen
erally graces them by his dignified
presence and that ot his lovely wife,
and comes also with his purse liberal

The asylum is indeed a great insti
tution arid the Cornet Band, which
we trust will he a permanent organi

factor in futnisning pleasure to those
who are so unfortunate as to have to

Death of Mr. Supple,
Mr. James Supple, who has been a
sufferer from chronic ill health for
some months past, hut who has been
occasionally seen on our streets, until
a week or two ago, died at bis resi
dence in this city, on Thursday last.
AVe suppose that.his death was quite
a surprise to many of our citizens as
well as a matter of sincere regret.
He had lived here, except for a short
period during the civil war, for some
thirty-five years and was a good citi
zen and a man of much intelligence
and general information as well as a
genial and pleasant companion in the
society of his friends. He leaves a
wife and daughter in this city and a
son living in New York, and another,
the youngest, who is a resident of
Texas, ami who, having removed to
that distant State when quite a boy.
is said to be doing remarkably well
there. Mr. Supple was a native of
Ireland and had lived successively in
Canada and New York before ho
came to Georgia. His lifelong occu
pation was that of a jeweller and lie
was a member of tho American Legion (
of honor, the members of which as
sociation took charge of his burial.
Ho was buried on Saturday last in
our city cemetery, his eldest son, Mr.
John Supple having reached here on
ly in time to ho present at his father’s
burial.
